Oh cool, I love it! Especially the news stories, that's great. 'Cept I still can't find that easter egg... :unsure::P

I am not sure if you are being sarcastic or not :P but I will answer your question...

It is not an actual Easter Egg :P ... you know on some DVDs you can press a certain code and some bonus feature that they have hidden will pop up ......

the My Portal thing is an EAster Egg that Captain Ewok had hidden for someone to find...

I was being sarcastic, but only because I figured out from other posts that it wasn't a real easter egg and that the portal must be it. I did think at first that there was some kind of VJ treasure hunt going on! :lol:

I never knew that about DVDs either. Thanks for explaining - I've been pretty confused all day...DVDs, easter eggs, portals, huh? :blink::lol:

You'll find Easter eggs in software too - Microsoft has them.. do a google on them .. (lots of games have them as well...a kind of practical joke by programmers)...

Hi Capt. Ewok, one word to express my gratitude of this site: it's orgasmic!!! We just got good news about our own road (at the minute got off the phone with my hubby) and want to immediately express it here. I think it's the right place!!! Without this site and some of it's members, especially aussiewhench (no you dear bright and generous friend, we do not forget you), and ziggy, yourself, as other memebers who are special to our hearts. I was new here and learned the hard way how things work, from this level as numbers we are in the eyes of the process, i found here the humanity we need to remember we are a part of!...Our hats to you!!!

Looks like you found the egg first :) .

I was reading the "Oh VJ" thread started by LisaD. So now I know why you said that I found the egg first. "Go Sheriff... It's your birthday..." That was me singing and dancing. LOL!

Captain, I am the one who can't thank VJ enough for all the help given. If it weren't for the members of this site I think we'd have gotten lost somewhere in our journey.

Luis and I had a smooth journey thanks for all the wonderful information on this site! :thumbs:

I'll keep trying to support and help others after me, and my journey is not yet over so I'll continue to rely on VJ as well! :)

Btw, I LOVE the portal! :thumbs:
